Superstructure Optimization Of Hybrid Thermal Desalination Configurations
The global demand for a steady, economical supply of fresh water continues to increase. This trend is driven on the one hand by surging population growth, and on the other hand by economic development, industrialization and an expansion of irrigation agriculture, all of which demand fresh water [1, 2]. Although there is currently enough fresh water for the planet's 7 billion inhabitants, there is a high unevenness in its distribution, which has left an increasing number of regions chronically short of water [3]. In these water-stressed regions, numerous alleviating actions have been taken including constructing more water catchment areas, building improved water distribution networks, along with improved water conservation measures. While these measures do result in better utilization of the constrained freshwater resources, they do not guarantee sufficient water for all. One of the main known modes of increasing the existing water supply is seawater desalination; a proven process that can reliably convert the seemingly limitless supply of seawater to high-quality water suitable for human consumption.

Successful Antiscalant Field Trial – Optimization at Higher pH & Sea Water Temperature
LDP meets all its contractual objectives operating at higher feed water pH – no evidence of membrane scaling. Required boron levels achieved using appropriate antiscalant in combination with correct membrane changes and adequate chemical cleaning. thermPhos is supporting successfully LDP in optimizing the dosing rate of the chosen antiscalant Recent LDP +20% plant expansion makes boron. rejection more critical - further work required for finer antiscalant dosing adjustments

The Economic Value Of The Extracted Elements From Brine Concentrates Of Spanish Desalination Plants
The disposal of desalination brine, which contains a higher concentration of salts, is treated as waste and discharged into the environment. In this brine, several elements, when processing and extraction were possible, could be susceptible to exploitation and valorisation.

Nanoporous Graphene as a Water Desalination Membrane David Cohen-Tanugi
Abstract
In this thesis, we explore how computational approaches can be used to understand, predict, and ultimately design a future generation of graphene-based reverse osmosis membranes.
We offer That graphene, an atom-thick layer of carbon that has exceptional physical and mechanical properties ,They can allow water to pass through while rejecting salt ions if they have nanometer-sized pores.
